Accepting Feed Requests

"...I've been asked a number of times by now whether I could produce a custom news feed for site XYZ, and until now I've declined most of the times. But today I thought 'heck, why not'. :)

Now, I've thought about the how. Hosting feeds costs money, scraping feeds is taking time, and maintaining a feed can take some time as well. So, I'm offering you the following service. First read the list of things you get, then see whether you'd be willing to shell out a small one-time fee of €2." [feedpalooza journal, via Boing Boing]

I submitted two requests for my local newspapers (hop a cluetrain, newspaper guys!), but I have to wait for a PayPal transfer to go through before getting the URLs. Joe Hall, on the other hand, was much faster at this and he had Carlo create a feed for Dave Farber's Interesting People mailing list! Some good stuff should come out of this offer, and hopefully it will further illuminate the demand in order to increase the supply.

U.N. Creates Video Game To Educate On
World Hunger 04/14/2005 04:59 PM
Ah, those crazy kids. They love the video games, so of course they'll also love a PC/Mac video game that subtly teaches them about world hunger. That's what the United Nations hopes will happen with the free release of "Food Force," a game that was developed by the U.N.'s World Food Programme. We're always skeptical of bureaucrats who co-opt new media for transparent purposes. People -- especially kids -- tend to see right through them. But you never know. The success of "Amer ica's Army" shows that if done well, a government-esque game can succeed regardless of its ulterior motives.

Quell Hunger for Change
(washingtonpost.com) 03/30/2005 01:15 AM
washingtonpost.com - ZHULUBE, Zimbabwe -- Hundreds of bags of cornmeal were stacked in front of a bar near here this month, rising as high as its roof. The only problem for the hungry people of this drought-stricken area was that the food, like the bar, was controlled by officials from the ruling party. With a crucial election nearing, they weren't about to give it to just anyone.

Tunisian bl0gger finally released from
prison after hunger strikes, alleged
torture 11/18/2003 03:14 PM
35-year-old Tunisian blogger Zouhair Yahyaoui, imprisoned since June 2002 for criticizing the Tunisian government on his weblog, was released on parole this morning. An overjoyed Sophie Elwarda -- his fiance, who campaigned tirelessly for his release -- tells BoingBoing:

"Zouhair returned to his family's home shortly after his release. This morning even, he was still unaware of this decision and thus has just stopped the hunger strike he started on November 2nd. He is very weak and suffers from his dental abscess due to poor medical care in prison, but seemed to be in a good mental state when he talked to us on the phone and thanks all those who have been supporting his case during all these months.

He does not forget the people he left behin him and said to one of his friends: "Two years are nothing compared to the long sentence of some of my fellow prisoners ". I can only express a very great happiness to know he is free, at his place finally, after this year and half of battle.

I thus dedicate my joy to all those who, by their thought, their messages of support (to which I sometimes forgot to answer), their presence, their combativity, their perseverance, allowed this day to come and that I write, finally, the press release I've always dreamed of ! I also dedicate it to all NGOs which supported Zouhair (by regard for those that I might forget, I do not make the list), to all the journalists who have been the echo of our voice, to his courageous family and to all those forming what Zouhair calls "his XXL family". And if I had only one hope to express, it would be this one: May this press release be REALLY the last !"

I beat Xenosaga tonight. It had a fantastic ending. When the words To Be Continued appeared on my TV, I really really wanted Episode II. I hope those folks at Monolith get the sequel done quickly. :)

I have moved on to Freelancer, which is decidedly unimpressive so far. I think it will get a bit more interesting once I actually have a ship with decent weapons and other gadgets (like mines and countermeasures), so I'm withholding judgment until I've played a while longer.

The other game that I'm about 60% of the way through is Metroid Prime. I wish those damn GameCube controllers didn't hurt my hands so much, or I'd have been done with that game by now.

Still in the queue is Splinter Cell for my XBox. I have sadly neglected the game completely, despite having heard wonderful things about it.

And I need to get back and finish GTA:Vice City on the PS2 and Buffy on the XBox. So many games, so little time. Sigh.
